CANTON ELEMENTARY STUDENTS GET UP AND DANCE

VOTER REGISTRATION SITE LISTING PAGE 3C

When the clock struck 10 a.m. on Thursday morning, Sept. 27, Canton R-V Elementary school students were lined up and ready to bust a move.

The students, teachers and even volunteers from Culver-Stockton watched and danced along with several fifth grade student “dance leaders.”

The reason behind the students’ dance? To reach two million dancers across the United

States participating in the Jam World Record.

Jamworldrecord.org is a website in which Canton R-V P.E. Teacher, Carie Logsdon, came across around a year ago and became intrigued. The website creates short, one minute exercises designed to motivate students to increase their physical activities and also to give them a moment to refocus their attention on their school-work. The website

appropriately calls these the JAMmin’ Minute.

For the event on Thursday, jamworldrecord.org set a goal of two million students across the U.S. to dance the JAMmin’ Minute for Sept. 27 at 10 a.m. in each participating school’s time zone. They reached 1,297,854 dancers.

For more information on the Jam World Record, please visit jamworldrecord.com.

EDITORIAL DVENTURES OF WONDER MOM

IMAGES OF YESTERYEAR

Wait… I HAVE to eat this?

I’m not an incredibly political person- I’m not going to spend countless hours sending letters to congressmen, senators and political parties complaining about how they’re spending our tax dollars.

Given, I’m not always happy to see the effects of some political choices (such as pulling funding from schools and other education throughout the country), but as long as I don’t feel imposed upon, I’m fine. My husband and I live a simple lifewe work, we come home spend as much time as we can with our daughter and family, enjoy ourselves with the occasional dinner and movie, and pay our bills. We don’t feel the need to get ‘caught up’ in the whirlwind that is a political battle, but there’s one transgression that I believe has, in its own way, imposed upon my family.

Schools are changing their lunch menus to a very specific set of standards that are set based on age and grade level. They’re limiting the amount of meat that is served and increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables. In theory, this sounds like a wonderful idea- “make” our students eat healthy meals and not poor meals.

In truth though, this theory is a bit like communism, it might sound good on paper, but it doesn’t work that way in real life.

As my daughter quickly approaches her second birthday, I’m realizing very quickly how close we are to the school years of her life. Personally, I do NOT want some person at the Capital telling my daughter what she can and cannot eat. Why would I have a problem with her eating healthy food? I don’t, but mandating certain portions is beyond my tolerance.

My senior year of high school was a very active year for me. I took two semesters of weight lifting, ran track, worked, and had several other things on my plate. I was constantly ‘going’. My lunch break was just after my weight lifting class, and after burning all those calories, I was always ready to chow down.

I bought two lunches a day because one lunch simply wasn’t enough to keep me from feeling hungry- and for good reason, I burned hundreds of calories in a day!

The point of that explanation was that one ‘government proportioned’ meal, may fit perfectly for Johnny, but what about Billy who has football practice after school?

And sure, some kids can do what I did and buy a second lunch. But what about the kids that can’t afford a second lunch?

What if they issue some other crazy mandate that says second lunches are out of the question? I shudder to think that my daughter might have an active school lifestyle and

BARTLETT

have to go hungry because she isn’t offered all the sustenance she needs.

I agree with the government officials that we see way too many obesity cases in children (and adults) these days, but obesity doesn’t start in the one meal that students eat at school. Obesity starts outside of school- at home, out at restaurants, at the movies, etc. This isn’t to say that parents with obese children are bad parents.

Honestly, in today’s world, it’s hard to eat something that’s under 300 calories.

Not to mention, the cost of healthy eating can be out of reach for many low and middle class Americans. Why pay six dollars for a salad when you can get a burger for $.99? Also considering that the burger will keep you feeling full for longer due to the protein in it, which the body breaks down more slowly than that of carbohydrates.

As a working mom, I know from experience how difficult it can be to get up and cook a healthy meal after a long day at work.

Some days, I can accomplish making a great meal, and other days, my behind stays glued to the couch.

It’s very easy to pop open a bag of chips and eat away, but I can usually feel the effects of eating like that the next day- I’m sluggish, exhausted, and even irritable at times (which then can lead to another ‘I don’t feel like cooking tonight’ night). Both my daughter and I are addicted to Goldfish- they’re small enough for her to eat, and salty enough for me to love.

Downside? I can eat almost an entire bag singlehanded.

The entire point that I would like to make is this: federal mandates on what our children should eat at lunch is stepping over the line. As parents, we should decide what our children should or should not eat and if we are not sure about what foods are healthy, it is our job to become educated on the fact so that we can provide a healthy lifestyle for our children.

It’s not easy, but it’s even less easy to comfort a child that is being bullied about her weight or to be told by a doctor that your child is diabetic due to poor diet.

Don’t let someone else tell you what’s best for your child- in the end, both yourself and your child will be unhappy.

With Sincere Appreciation!

Thanks to all who helped at the scene of Matthew Scoggin’s 4-Wheeler accident. Thanks to all family and friends for all your support at the hospital and to all others for your prayers, phone calls and concerns.

Steve, Renee, Michael, & Matthew Scoggin

BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Sept. 29, 1987 The Lewis County Historical Society has a new home. Society members Clark and Lana Todd made available a building that was vacant after Dr. Galbraith retired earlier this year. Historical records had previously been stored in the home of Stu and Jean Purvine.

Construction workers clearing land on the old Culver-Stockton College golf course (Riverview) unearthed unmarked tombs. Two caskets were found on Sept. 19. A historians report in the custody of Culver-Stockton College indicated those buried there had been reinterred in Forrest Grove Cemetery. After checking with the Attorney Generals Office and deciding there would be no way to notify next of kin, the two caskets were re-interred north of the area cleared.

The remains were determined to be at least 120 years old. Lewis County Historical Society reports that the cemetery would grounds located on the old golf course was called Canton Cemetery and had a record of about a dozen individuals buried there at some time.

VETERAN FOCUS LaGrange Veteran Participates In Honor Flight

BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com

Jack White of LaGrange and his son, Jeff, were on the September 11, 2012 Honor Flight to visit Washington D.C. The trip allows veterans to see the war memorials dedicated to the veterans who fought in WWII and the Korean War. Jack White is a Korean War veteran.

World War II divided Korea into a Communist, northern half and an American-occupied southern half, divided at the 38th parallel. The Korean War (1950-1953) began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded non-Communist South Korea. As Kim Il-sung’s North Korean army, armed with Soviet tanks, quickly overran South Korea, the United States came to South Korea’s aid.

Jack was 20 years old when he was called to service. He lived around Unionville, Mo., and had been working throughout the state with the REA bringing power to rural Missourians. He reported on Nov. 10, 1952 and was sent to Camp Crowder in southwest Missouri and stay there until Thanksgiving. He was then sent to Camp Pope in Louisiana for 16 weeks of basic training.

He was then sent to Japan at the Mt. Fuji north camp for advanced training. In June they flew to Korea and landed in Pusan and were bussed to the front line as far as they could go and then walked the rest of the way, moving during the night.

Arriving at the front, they were instructed to dig trenched in the DMZ. The Korean Demilitarized Zone is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea which runs along the 38th parallel. White says they were all digging and the guys were complaining about

how hard the dirt was, but where he was digging in the dirt was pretty soft which was good until he realized he had dug into an old grave and sound found the occupant of that grave.

Needless to say he soon found another spot to dig in. After they had dug in, the Koreans decided they were too close and demanded they move back.

He recalls they were under constant fire and the heat was excessive.

White moved on to Inchon with the 96th Quartermaster where they were having the Korean and Chinese prisoner exchange. The prisoners received a change of clothes and were deloused and then taken to Panmunjom.

There were over 4,000 prisoners. His company moved around South Korean, a lot of times just guarding empty prison camps. He remained in Korea until October 1954.

White was with Division 24th, 34th Regiment C Company, 1st Battalion.

Returning to the states to Fort Carson in Colorado, when he service ended he went back to Unionville, moved to Kirksville, then to Columbia and back to Kirksville again where he worked with heavy equip-

ment and a relative told him about a job in West Quincy, working at the restaurant at the train depot. He met his wife, Carolyn, they moved to LaGrange, and raised their family. Jack was involved in scouts, served on the city council and was the city judge. He worked at Kanpheide and retired from that company.

His wife died on May 22, 1993, one day short of their 29th wedding anniversary.

He then moved to Montana for several years and returned to LaGrange where he now resides.

He signed up for the Honor Flight in April.

The September trip was the second flight on which Korean veterans were al-

lowed to attend. His son, Jeff, accompanied him as his guardian. Jeff has been employed by Knapheide Manf. For over 18 years.

After he told his company he was going on the Honor Flight with his father, the next day at work he was surprised to learn that the Kanpheide Company had paid his way for the

trip. Veterans are invited on the trip at no cost, each one has to have a companion or guardian along with them, usually a relative or caretaker, and the guardian is required to pay for their portion of the trip. If a person doesn’t have a particular guardian to accompany them, there are several people who volunteer and are honored to be the guardian for the day.

The Honor Flight trip began at John Wood Community College, after a provided breakfast, the group was bussed to St. Louis where they flew to Baltimore. At the Baltimore airport they were greeted and cheered by well wishers.

Jack said everywhere they went people would come up to them and thanked them for their service. He said he shook so many hands that his were swollen and sore for several days after he returned home.

This Honor Flight happened on Sept. 11, so there was heightened security at the sites they visited. They did see a Presidential motorcade, as the President was speaking at the Pentagon. The group toured the Korean Memorial, WWII Memorial, Vietnam Memorial,, Lincoln Memorial and all the other many sights in Washington, D.C. They also went to Arlington Cemetery and witnessed the changing of the guard. The group was ahead of schedule so they bus driver gave them an extra tour of the city.

Returning home, his son Jackie had driven to St. Louis with some other motorcyclists to escort the bus back home, They were met by over 200 motorcycles near Bowling Green, along with police cars and were escorted to Hannibal, which was a memorable sight.

Jack and Jeff White encourage anyone who is eligible to sign up for the Honor Flight. It is an experience they will never forget.

Lewis County Memorial Auxiliary Unit 578 The Lewis County Memorial Post and Auxiliary Unit 578 met Sept. 10, in the Lewistown American Legion Hall. The evening began with a supper followed by a program.

Two Highland High School students, Kimber Boyer and Chris Sparks, gave the program on Missouri Girls State and Missouri Boys State. They expressed appreciation for being sponsored as delegates. Their prepared remarks and answers to questions from the audience, included their participation in the governmental portions of the weeklong activities as well as other fun, learning opportunities. Post and Auxiliary 578 would also like to thank the Rick and Tena Jones Family for sponsoring one girl and one boy to Girls State and Boys State this year.

Following the program, the Post and Auxiliary held their business meetings. Norma Earlywine, First VicePresident, presided at the Auxiliary meeting.

Evelyn Ewalt, Knox City Unit 358 President, was welcomed as a guest. Since one of the Lewis County delegates could not attend Girls State and there was no alternate from that county, the Lewistown and Knox City Auxiliaries had worked together on sponsorship of another student to Missouri Girls State. The Knox City Missouri Girls State Delegate/Alternate and their families had been invited to attend the Lewistown meeting.

However, they were not able to attend.

The Auxiliary Unit 578’s annual soup luncheon will be held on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 from 11 a.m. 1:30 p.m. at the Lewistown American Legion Hall.

Members in attendance volunteered to give food and monetary donations. Other members will be contacted concerning their donations. This is the women’s main fundraiser.

The next meeting of Post and Auxiliary Unit 578 will be October 8, beginning with a 6:30 p.m. carry-in supper at the Lewistown American Legion Hall.

Oyster Prairie 4-H Oyster Prairie 4-h club had a meeting on September 3 at the Durham United Methodist Church. There were 17 members present at the meeting and 9 others. Officers were selected.

Recognition night will be held on Sunday, November 4 at the fairgrounds starting at 6:00. The week of October 7-14 is 4-H recognition week. Ryan Waterman and Chase Wilson shared about Nationals for hunting and outdoor skills in Nebraska.

October 15 through December 7, 2012, is the Annual Enrollment Period when senior citizens can change their Medicare Advantage plan for 2013.

As in previous years, seniors have a choice of staying with traditional Medicare coverage, with or without a supplemental plan, or opting for a Medicare Advantage plan.

Through Medicare Advantage plans, the federal government shares the responsibility of providing Medicare benefits with state-licensed private companies.

Companies selling Medicare Advantage plans have a contract with the federal government to provide beneficiaries with

all their Medicare benefits, plus any additional benefits the company chooses to provide.

Most hospitals treat all traditional Medicare patients, but are not required to accept all Medicare Advantage plans.

With dozens of Medicare Advantage plans in the marketplace, many hospitals choose to limit the number of plans they accept.

Blessing Health System providers accept traditional Medicare, Medicare supplements, and will accept the following Medicare Advantage plans beginning in January 2013.

Basic Life Support Instructor Course Offered The deadline to register for the next Basic Life Support (CPR) Instructor course offered by Blessing Hospital is Oct. 19, 2012.

Blessing, an American Heart Association Training Center, will offer the CPR Instructor course on Nov. 1, from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., on the third floor in the Room 311, Blessing Hospital at 14th Street, Quincy, Ill. There is a course fee.

The following prerequisites must be met: Submit a completed Instructor Candidate application.

Agree to teach at least four courses over a twoyear period. Be aligned with an American Heart Association (AHA) Training Center. Submit a copy of current AHA Healthcare Provider CPR card issued since April 1, 2011.

Complete the AHA Core Instructor Course prior to the CPR Instructor Course before November 1, 2012.

The fee for the AHA Core Instructor Course is included in the CPR Instructor Course fee and is completed through independent study.

Each instructor candidate will be eligible for a course completion card as an instructor after he or she has successfully completed the course and has taught a monitored CPR course by Feb. 1, 2013.

For more information, or to register, call Donna McCain, (217) 223-8400, ext. 4833, or email donna. mccain@blessinghealthsystem.org.
